| Description: |
Damage to the environment is a serious threat to quality of life. This book surveys the problems associated with accounts of environmental harm and offers an explication of the insights associated with post-structuralist thought. It applies key post-structuralist concepts to a site of environmental harm, contestation and legal in(ter)ventions. |
| Synopsis: |
This book offers a post-structuralist critique of the problems associated with modernist accounts of environmental harm and regulation. Through a notably detailed micro-political analysis of forest conflict, the author explores the limits of academic commentary on environmental issues and suggests that the traditional variables of political economy, race and gender need to be recast in light of four key modalities through which 'the environment' and 'environmental damage' are (re)produced. Focusing on vision, speed, lexicon and affect, the book engages a new ethic for categorizing and regulating 'nature' and challenges criminologists, sociologists, cultural theorists and others to reconsider what it is possible to say and do about environmental problems. |
